Corn-Free Foods & Products List - Dec 2007

Please see new list at Corn-free List- Slightly Updated for a more updated list.


Corn-Free Foods & Products List – Current only at the time of posting (normally, but I got way behind so not all the additions submitted have been added, though I have tried to remove all unsafe products that were brought to my attention).

This is not a guarantee of corn-free, but foods that I in conjunction with others have investigated and tested. Since we all have different sensitivities, use this more as a guide and less as a bible. Some of these foods I haven’t tried and have relied on other’s experiences, as some of these products are either not available in my area or I must avoid them for other reasons.

Read labels every time you buy a product, and be cautious. If anyone has had problems with anything listed here, please do let us know. (Thanks to Violets for her work in helping to create this list.)

Some items on the list have reported corn in them (mostly medications). These have been left on the list, with the source of corn noted on the side. These are left on the list as they may be needed in an emergency, and an educated decision is best at these times.

Legend:
CC – Company confirms or claims product to be corn-free.
CC 10/06 – Date last confirmed with company.
? – Items thought to be corn-free. Successfully eaten by at least one person, but more confirmation is needed.
Untested – Company Confirmed corn-free, but no one has tested it to my knowledge.
Reported Reactions – Reactions have been reported, but may or may not be corn related. Use with caution.
KFP = Kosher For Passover
GFCF = Gluten-Free/Casein-Free
GF = Gluten-free (Gluten status is not always up-to-date on this list. Please check the gluten-free version of this list for more up-to-date gluten-free & corn-free products)

Skippy Natural Peanut Butter

I recieved an email that Skippy Natural has been confirmed through the company to be corn-free.

All ingredients were confirmed to be corn-free, including the salt. Ingredient list: Roasted Peanuts, Sugar, Palm Oil, Salt.

Hidden Citric Acid

I doubt this is what Apac Chemical Corporation intended as the usefulness of its product information on Citric Acid, but nevertheless product guides like these are extremely important to us trying to avoid hidden corn.

Listed below are a few of the notable mentions for uses for citric acid of which people might not be aware:

Water Softener Salts: Both Home and Commercial water softener salts contain citric acid. (if you have a water softener, you may want to stop drinking the water straight from the tap, and invest in a filtration system)

Cigarettes: Citric acid controls the burn rate of the paper so it doesn't burn faster than the tobacco. Its also used on the tobacco to "balance the flavors".

Canola Oil: Many corn allergics have repeatedly reported problems with Canola oil. Well this article lists Canola Oil specifically as containing citric acid. Its used as a de-gumming agent.

Seafood:
Citric acid keeps it smelling fresh.

AlgaeCal Calcium/Magnesium Supplement

An inquiry in July 2007 posted on Delphi -Avoiding Corn confirmed that the product was corn-free.

Unfortunately AlgaeCal no longer is. At the time of the inquiry, the company was in the process of switching out its bovine gelatin capsules (Capsugel) to a capsule derived from corn.

Do be cautious as their site still claims "corn-free" status, despite this switch to corn-based capsules.

Fred Meyer - Private Selection Organic Raisin Bran

A member of Delphi - Avoiding Corn did an indepth inquiry into Fred Meyer's Private Selection Organic Raisin Bran and the company confirmed that the cereal is corn-free.

As of yet, I don't know if anyone has tried this cereal. If you do try it, or if you currently eat it, do let us know how you do with it.

Organic Valley - Cheese

We'd posted about Organic Valley's unsafe cheeses on our sister site and in the beginning of starting this blog, but its been so long that I think a reminder/update is necessary.

According to a post on Delphi- Avoiding Corn, in April of 2007 Organic Valley reported that they use corn starch in packaging their cheeses.

Another poster claims Organic Valley does not use this process on their Sharp and Regular Chedder BLOCK cheese (not raw cheddar), but this hasn't been human tested to confirm.

So do use extreme caution with Organic Valley cheeses.. or just avoid them (which is the safer bet).

Traverse Bay Fruit Co. - Cherries

A inquiry (results posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn) into the ingredients of these dried cherries has confirmed them to be corn-free.

The ingredients used to make these cherries are: beet sugar, cherries, and sunflower oil.

As of yet, these have not been human tested.

Mariani Dried Cherries

A company response posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn confirms Mariani brand Dried Cherries to be corn-free.

The ingredients in the Mariani Dried Cherries is simply sugar and cherries. The company confirms that the sugar is from beets.

OFF Bug Spray

OFF Smooth & Dry Bug Repellant contains cornstarch. Fortunately they promote this loudly on their advertisements.

Kettle brand Chips

An inquiry into Kettle Chips posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn, states that Kettle Chip Company has changed their processing of the potato chips.

The potato chips were removed from our list back in Dec 2006, due to multiple reaction complaints. However, with this new processing, I feel semi-confident in adding them back in temporarily.

The new processing lines for the chips has separated the potato chips from the same equipment as their corn chips. Hopefully this solves the problems people were having their chips.

Kettle chips Unsalted and Lightly Salted varieties will be added back to the list.. for now.

Please let us know if you're eating these and how you're doing.

Welch's Grape Juice

Just in case anyone had doubts. A post on Conner's Corn Allergens forum: Discussion: Welch's includes a testimony of company confirmation that the ascorbic acid in Welch's Grape Juice comes from corn.

Corn Fabrics

Because food isn't enough to worry about, they've put corn corn everywhere.

A post on Conner's Corn Allergens Forum under Discussion: Fabric Made From Corn lists the following fabrics or materials to watch out for:

Sorona (supposedly the new nylon)

PLAs - water bottles, shampoo bottles and even carpets.

Ingeo line of Bedding at Target (Ingeo is a corn-based fabric, and expanding to clothes and designer shirts).

Kira - durable, high performance fabric from corn - Herman Miller fabric. Used on systems panels, tackboards, screens, and Ethospace tiles.

Natureworks PLA - clothing, carpets, diapers, mattresses, upholstery, yarn.

Oh and Minnesota T-Wolves games - beer mugs made from corn.

Houston Nutraceuticals

A company response posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn about Houston Nutraceuticals Peptizyde and ZymePrime products, confirms that there is no corn in the products.

You can find these enzyme products as well as other products by Houston Neutraceuticals at their website.

CAUTION! I just recieved a notice that the chewable versions by Houston Neutraceuticals do contain corn (fructose), which one reader of this blog found out the hard way. She did state that the powders and capsules were safe though.

Trader Joe's Marinara Sauce (canned)

A http://forums.delphiforums.com/AvoidingCorn/messages?msg=4513.1">poster from Delphi - Avoiding Corn guinea-pigged this product, and reported a rather big reaction.

The poster states that the ingredients of the product make it look like a safe choice, but based on the reaction the product must have hidden corn derivatives.

Do use caution with this product.

Thursday, November 01, 2007

Knudsen's Spritzers

Knudsen's Spritzers are tempting things to try and their ingredientslook fairly safe. You won't find citric acid or corn syrup.

Unfortunately they do contain the other scary ingredient (natural flavors) often seen in beverages, which can be completely safe or completely harmful.

An inquiry posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn confirms that Knudsen's natural flavors use corn alcohol.

For those that tolerate some corn derivatives, these may be worth a shot. But for anyone really sensitive, I'd avoid trying these.

Hansen's

A company response posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn confirms that the ascorbic acid and citric acids used in Hansen's products are derived from corn.

While juice was the initial inquiry in this instance, any Hansen's products with these ingredients should be considered unsafe. (which I think is all Hansen products)

According to Hansen's website, their products include:
Hansen's (several products which clearly state Hansen's on the label)
Blue Sky Sodas
Fizzit (vitamin & mineral drink)
Juice Slam boxes
Rumba

Muti Bug Away

Muti Bug Away seems like a really safe product for corn-allergies. An ingredient list posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn holds very little (if any) questionable ingredients.

Unfortunately at this time I have no knowledge that anyone has tested it out. If you have a corn allergy, and you've tried this product, do let us know.

Trader Joe's German-Style Beers

Trader Joe's German-Style Beers are supposed to be made according to the German Purity Law of 1516, and thus should logically not contain any corn.

Unfortunately, one testers experience did not agree, as she began reacting minutes after tasting a very small amount of the beer.

Publix Natural Peanut Butter

According to a poster on Delphi-Avoiding Corn, an inquiry into the ingredients of Publix's Natural Peanut Butter lead to the discovery of iodized salt in the product and thus should not be considered corn-free.

Do use caution with this product, and other store brands. Store brands are generally another company's product relabeled. Several different store brands could actually be the same product, just different labels. So do use caution with store brand Natural Peanut Butters.

Trader Joe's Fully Cooked Rice

Trader Joe's stores have a fully cooked brown rice and wild rice product that is shelf-stable (does not need refrigeration).

According to a company response posted on Delphi-Avoiding Corn, this product is corn-free including packaging.

A company response posted on Delphi-Avoiding Corn verifies that the source of AustismCoach.com's Corn-Free Vitamin C is a combination of beets and tapioca.

There is still cellulose in it which the source of that hasn't been identified. If anyone does feel brave enough to trial this product, do let us know.

Zicam

A post on Delphi - Avoiding Corn forum details Zicam's response about the corn-free status of their product.

Zicam cannot confirm any corn-free status at this point.

As such, we assume they probably contain corn. So do use caution with their products.

Jones Soda - Cream Soda

Jones Soda has confirmed that their Cream Soda flavor is corn-free.

However, I've been assured that this is the only flavor of Jones Sodas that is corn-free.

Natura Pet Foods

I recieved a company response from Natura Pet Foods today, confirming all their canine products to be corn-free.

As a bonus, their EVO formula is 100% grain-free and should be safe then for a gluten-free household.

Natura Pet Products makes pet foods under the labels: Innova, EVO, California Natural, HealthWise, Mother Nature, and Karma.

** just a little tidbit for anyone interested, Natura Pet Food ingredients are all human grade so if anyone wants to eat them to try them out.. Let us know it goes. :)

Lakefront Brewery - Beer

According to a poster on Delphi - Avoiding Corn, Lakefront Brewery of Milwaukee, Wisconsin has confirmed that they do not use any corn or corn derivatives to make their beers.

The beers are also free of rice, with the exception of their New Grist beer for Celiacs.

Lakefront Brewery website

Plasencia Reserva Organica - Nesticos

A poster on Delphi-Avoiding Corn attempted to verify corn-free status with the company but did not quite get company confirmation for these small cigars.

She did however personally test out the Nesticos and did not react.

While many tobacco products do contain corn derivatives, it appears these may not.

The company did confirm that the Placencia Organica's are made completely organically with no chemical additives. The Nesticos are just one of the types of cigars made by this line. Placencia Reserva Organica Line

Georgia Pacific - Brawny & Sparkle

According to a relayed company confirmation posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn, Brawny and Sparkle paper towels are processed the same way. Meaning they both should have the same corn-free status.

According to the post, they both are completely corn-free with exception of the glue on the first and last sheets of each roll.

Georgia-Pacific's Website

Zithromax

A poster on Delphi - Avoiding Corn verified with Pfizer that their Zithromax liquid suspension does contain corn.

The company did not specify which ingredient was corn-derived or if there was more than one, but merely stated that corn was found in the ingredients.

The poster's child did manage to tolerate the medication, but not everyone may be so lucky.

Trader Joe's Canned Chunk Turkey

Since I don't have a whole lot of information on this product, consider this more of an FYI.

A poster on Delphi - Avoiding Corn trialled Trader Joe's canned Chunk Turkey and reacted.

So do use caution.

Kroger Meats

A reaction to Kroger's fresh meat posted on Delphi - Avoiding Corn, started a long discussion of how Kroger's meats (& other stores as well) are processed.

Kroger grocery stores are dotted almost all over the United States.

According to one post on Delphi, Kroger meats are sprayed (with what is unsure) prior to packaging, and their fresh ground meat has "with natural flavor" on the packaging.

There have been multiple reports of reactions to Kroger fresh meats, and most are not marked any warnings. So do use caution.

365 sodas - revisited

A long time ago, we made a summary post of all the not-so-corn-free items we'd researched prior to starting this website/blog. Our sister site, News for Corn Avoiders, has more info on this research saga.

Whole Foods - 365 sodas - Corn allergy caution - which includes Whole Foods original stance on the corn-free status of the 365 sodas.
Whole Foods: Consumer Confidence Lost - which Whole Foods confirms the citric acid in 365 sodas is from corn.

Despite this research, we are still getting inquiries into the 365 Rootbeer, which does not contain the dreaded citric acid. Unfortunately, it does still contain corn in it somewhere.

Unfortunately for me, I missed this corn confirmation notice, and stupidly decided to trial the rootbeer myself. I can confirm, btw, that there is indeed corn in the 365 rootbeer soda.

The amount of corn in the 365 Rootbeer would be for many people minimal. So if you can tolerate small amounts of corn derivatives you may do fine with this soda; however, if you're extremely sensitive, I would find something else to drink.

Patanol

Alcon's prescription antihistamine eyedrops: Patanol (and probably Pataday as well) have not been confirmed corn-free, nor confirmed corn.

A discussion on Delphi - Avoiding Corn, concerning Patanol increases our suspicions that it contains corn.

It is unsure which ingredient(s) in the Patanol would be corn-derived, but the benzalkonium chloride may be the culprit.

Use extreme caution before using this product with a severely sensitive corn-allergic.

Alison's Family Farms

A member of Delphi - Avoiding Corn reported that the company has confirmed their chicken products to be corn-free.

There is nothing used in processing except water, however the chicken is fed corn.

Alison's Family Farms Website

Alison's Chicken has had a reported reaction, but it is uncertain if the reaction was to the chicken or corn-contamination. She did call the company and confirmed again that there is no corn used in the processing, only in the chicken-feed.

Problematic Eggs

Eggs have been touch and go problems with many corn-allergics, and the exact reason for it has not really been discovered.

Eggland's Best was reported as problematic, as well as Horizon Organic eggs.

The same persons that reported problems with those brands, can successfully eat other brands of eggs such as Born-Free Omega 3 eggs, and Publix Greenwise Organic Eggs.

So if you're having trouble with eggs, it may not be a true egg allergy and you may want to trial a few different brands of eggs. Depending on the severity of your symptoms of course.

Most corn-allergics that spoke on this topic preferred eggs from cage-free free-range hens.

Delphi - Avoiding Corn Testimony:
Eggland's Best vs Born-Free
Horizon Organic vs Publix Greenwise

Another post of reaction to Horizon Organic Eggs states that if you are reacting to Horizon Organic Eggs, the company would like to know.

Ginger People - Ginger Soother

According to a post on Delphi -Avoiding Corn, Ginger People confirmed that their Ginger Soother beverage was corn-free.

According to the post, the "natural flavors" ingredient covers the ginger solids in the bottom of the bottle, and is nothing but ginger sediment.

Ginger People - Ginger Soother website

RX Vitamins - Children's Multivitamins

These I believe were company confirmed corn-free according to a post on Delphi-Avoiding Corn.

Rx Vitamins Children's Multi-Vitamins are grape flavored and candy-like.

Their website gives more details as to the ingredients of this product, which has been used successfully by one family so far.

Do use caution with this product if your child has multiple allergies, as it contains: maple, honey, molasses, apple, banana, currant, cranberry, orange, papaya, peach, pineapple, raspberry, grape, strawberry, broccoli, garlic, onion, parsley.

Zum Bar - Goats Milk Soaps

Zum Bar soaps have been something I avoided since.. well since I first started my corn-free journey, as rumors of reactions from corn allergic persons kept it in my mind as something to avoid.

In April 2007, there was a long discussion on Delphi-Avoiding corn where the ingredients of Zum Bar soaps were called into question.

Of the "finds":
Zum Bar confirmed that they do not use citric acid in their soaps.
Their essential oils are cold-pressed and not solvent extracted.
The company confirms that they do not use corn or corn derivatives.
Their glycerin is derived from palm.
Their vitamin E contains wheat germ.

This product is most likely corn-free.. at least should be tolerated well by most corn allergics. However there are some who question the goats milk base and dyes.

This product should not be considered gluten-free.

BubbleShack Hawaii Soaps

A company confirmation inquiry summarized on Delphi- Avoiding Corn, confirms several of the BubbleShack Hawaii Soaps to be corn-free.

BubbleShack Hawaii makes several soaps and not all are corn-free, so do use caution when selecting a soap.

According to the post on Delphi, "all of their 'regular' bar soaps are corn-free, with the exception of the following: Seafoam, Pikake Lei, Tuberose, and Kaffir Lime scents." This was last confirmed back in March 2007, so you may want to double check before ordering.

The Juicy Pineapple and Coconut Soaps were tested successfully.

In an update 10/07: Bubbleshack Hawaii has reformulated their products and none are considered corn-free at this time.

JC Naturals Soaps

A member of Delphi Avoiding Corn pointed us in the direction of JC Naturals soaps.

JC Naturals soaps are gluten, casien, and corn-free. They also make other bath & household products as well.

Another member of the Avoiding Corn forum tested their soap out with good results.
